Welcome to r/ornithology, a subreddit dedicated the scientific study of birds.

This is a place to discuss birds in a scientific context — their biology, ecology, evolution, behavior, and more.

Please note that this is NOT a birding or bird ID subreddit. Direct your posts about birding r/birding and posts about bird ID to r/whatsthisbird. Direct your questions about avian pet care to r/pets. What do I do with this wild bird I found questions go to /r/wildliferehab.
